Phew. I was worried they had killed another poor kid when I saw the headline.

ETA: The only thing I'm going to say about this is if you wouldn't hit your dog, don't hit your kids. If you would hit your dog, I'm taking the dog.

This is one of the best reasons we need to fight that sincerely held religious belief garbage - this is exactly where it leads. They're going to legalize child abuse because they sincerely believe their god said they could.

You know, the BDSM community are always looking for "chastisement sticks" for....you know...chastisement. Perhaps if he isn't too religious about how his "chastisement sticks" are used he can market them on Fetlife!

I can barely let people hug me.

How funny-- I just adopted a Marvin! So now I have Marvin and Coco. Coco has been solo for her whole 3 years and I know she's weirded out by this newcomer. They played for a bit last night, but when things got too rough she ran from Marvin and hid under the dresser where he can't go. She spent the next ten minutes hissing at him any time he tried to come near her :(

Yes, they are expensive and a lot of work! I'm glad you still get to play with other ones though.

They do beat their babies.

The thing I'm wondering about is where would you be going that you can do this in public without someone idk punching you in the face at minimum. I guess with other homeschool people.

And I'd donate dog food.

I wouldn't take the dog because the catz would murder us in our sleep, or at least pee all over the bed.

I was BAD at spanking my kid. Even when deserved, we'd both start giggling after I said that it was for her own good.

"Stop laughing, damnit, this is for your own go....[snort]"

I guess I'm a bad Xian?

Honestly. This is sad/scary/fury-making/WRONG.

I know the feeling. I have even flinched.

I know this. I was challenging Jim Peale's logic that spanking is on the buttocks but hitting is anywhere else on the body. Which you and I both seem to understand is utter bullshit.

It's your body language that's giving you away!
